Abstract

The Proseal laryngeal mask was introduced into clinical practice in 2000. Since then, many publications, most of them case reports, have discussed the use of this mask. This review considers the possible indications and contraindications for use of this device, techniques for insertion, and complications. The Proseal is compared with the conventional laryngeal mask. We reviewed the literature indexed on MEDLINE through October 2005 using the search terms Proseal laryngeal mask, airway, and anesthesia.
